For this unit Refers to Student’s Book pages Writing headlines

Closed questions
 start with auxiliary verbs, for example 
Do you / Will you, 
and are 
useful for pinning down an interviewee who is failing to get to the point.
Negative questions
, for example 
Can’t you / Haven’t you,
 may seem rather aggressive 
but are useful for provoking an interviewee to justify controversial opinions and facts.
Echo questions
 repeat part of a previous answer with questioning intonation, for 
example 
“I never said we would cut taxes” “Never?”,
 and are useful for getting more 
information out of an interviewee.
